that is a bigger signing than i expected.

I know they are trying to avoid too much dead cap space for future years, but is anyone else surprised by the lack of a couple key restructures(ie Williams, Coefield, Bowen)?

Also like the signing of Biggers especially knowing that we don't have the cap space to have made it a ridiculous contract like it might have been years past.

No, not surprised. The skins have said they'll execute restructures as needed to sign players. Theres no reason to restructure players now and free up cap space until we actually need to sign someone.

Makes sense, I'm guessing we might see such moves maybe after the draft depending on what holes still remain depending on who is still available on the market.

We'll definitely have to clear space to sign our draft picks, UDFAs, and have room to spare to sign players when our own guys inevitably get hurt.

All the major restructures we anticipate happening will still happen - with the cap penalty, we dont really have a choice - its just a matter of when.
